Among Australians who have changed things by example there is also Julia Doulman, who was featured in the documentary by Ruth Cullen "Becoming Julia". The documentary has been screened widely in Australia and overseas and had its premiere at the prestigious Sydney Film Festival. The film follows country boy Paul through the gender affirmation process to being attractive female Julia.

About Zagria

I have a social science degree. I spent several years in the 70s doing Gay Lib counselling, and moved on to organizing trans groups. I was rejected by the Clarke Institute (now CAMH) in the mid 1980s, probably because I do not match either of their stereotypes, but was accepted by Russel Reid on our first meeting in late 1987, and had surgery from James Dalrymple some months later. I have mainly worked as an IT consultant. I have been with the same husband for 45 years.
